Nonetheless, good work guys and I have no doubt it will get better with each release after this. Better yet, USB was getting close to 30 MB/s read which I had never noticed. One last note, I went back and tested the read speeds with Leopard's native NTFS driver on Dell laptop and they seem to match the read performance of Vista on eSATA, USB, and FW400. That is exactly why those FW800 results are low. And as you notice from USB and FW400 results there is really something wrong at a lower level with that model whether that may be power, firmware, or os level, I don't know. I was only able to test these on one Mac and that one was a PowerBook G4. I applied the same procedural methods for all of the test so while the numbers are not exact, they are probably within +/- 1 MB/s tolerance and more importantly they are relative in approximation to each other. I did try to keep in calculations the lag for Finder to actually begin copying the file which was at most 1-2 seconds. So, I have used Finder to copy the file hence the approximation of transfer speeds. and then try to apply the patches to the advanced build.Įrik: Unfortunately, I could not find a benchmarking software for Leopard. You can easily create patch sets from my modified source code as I've included all the original versions of the modified files (the *.orig files). You don't need them to test the advanced build, it should work fine anyway, but without the features listed above. And probably some other really minor things that I don't remember. Workaround for ntfs-3g hang at shutdown/restart by using an external signal handling process. Automatic setting of the MacFUSE 'volname' option. MacFUSE version detection, to prevent it from running on known broken MacFUSE releases. Filename NFD normalization code, including two new mount options (nfconv, nonfconv). Mac OS X specific fsync, doing the proper ioctls. Patch for aligned I/O reads from devices (from FreeBSD). Eventually I'm going to work on submitting most of these patches upstream to be included in the main branch. Pip: Yes, the patch set has grown quite large. ![]() Using the command line utility bless (see man bless for more information).Intel users only: Install the rEFIt boot manager for better control of the boot process.Holding down the Option key during boot (or Alt for non-Apple keyboards).It seems that this issue can't be solved, but only worked around since the Startup Disk preference pane doesn't recognize file system drivers that are not provided by Apple. Disabling or uninstalling ntfs-3g brings them back. After installing ntfs-3g, all NTFS drives will disappear from the "Startup Disk" preference pane.Packaging, patching, Mac OS X-related development and testing is done in the context of my development efforts with the Catacombae projects. If you are having problems with NTFS-3G, write a post about it in the NTFS-3G Forum (or post a question as a blog comment if you're just unsure of how things work). Information on how to install and use NTFS-3G for Mac OS X can be found in the User Guide. The package has been tested with Mac OS X 10.4.11/Intel and Mac OS X 10.5.6/Intel. MacFUSE 2.0.2/2.0.3 or later installed.Mac OS X 10.4/10.5, running on an Intel or PowerPC computer.Slower, but minimizes corruption in the event of a system crash Performance improved build using internal caching ublio build: Performance tuning should boost performance for most users.when a /dev/disk device is mounted and locked, its /dev/rdisk device is locked as well, and vice versa). Improvement: When locking devices, the corresponding alternate device is now also locked (i.e.Bugfix: Unmounting ejectable NTFS drives through Finder failed because Mac OS X claimed they were still in use.NTFS-3G.prefPane is now at version 0.9.7.ntfs-3g now locks (advisory) the device that it mounts with flock to decrease the probability of two processes concurrently trying to mount it.A dialog now exists for when the user tries to mount uncleanly unmounted or hibernated volumes, allowing the user to choose to force a mount without resorting to using the Terminal.
